And what I can promise is that every test, review and opinion you find here will always be unbiased. No BS, period.

The table below will give you, at a glance, all the high-level information on what I consider to be the top VPN providers.

Hi I have used Tunnelbear for the last 18months to watch BBC player but it has stopped working. I have just downloaded VYprVPN/Goldenfrog as per your note above and BBC player still tells me it only works if I am in the UK. I am in France. What next – should I cancel and try another? Sandra

Hi Sandra. I just gave VyprVPN a go and didn’t have any problems running the iPlayer. Try clearing your cache and cookies (you only need to clear all BBC and iPlayer related ones if you don’t want to clear them all) and run in an Incognito/Private browser window. That may fix it. Alternatively, it’s possible you just got unlucky and were assigned an IP blacklisted by the BBC.

If you still find yourself having yourself issues, you could cancel (especially if you’re still on your 3-day free trial with VyprVPN) and try a different provider. NordVPN has been very reliable and, along with PureVPN, is one of my go-tos.

I guess Tiger VPN just doesn’t cut the mustard as far as my requirements go. I should have researched better before signing a 2 year deal and then finding BBC iPlayer doesn’t work … I pay my BBC licence fee back home but spent a few months of the year In a small village in South East Europe. Wish I’d found your website sooner …

I just (13th July) subscribed to HideMyAss, to access UK TV.. Nothing works (BBC, 4OD) from any of my devices (Xbox, Android, windows). I contacted them (excellent customer support) they said they knew about it and have known for 3 weeks.. I’m cancelling.. Doesn’t sound like they know the workarounds you state.. ????

Hey Paul. For many, many months now, for UK TV I’ve had good luck with PureVPN and ibVPN. ibVPN has stopped working with the BBC iPlayer once in early August, but it took them less than a week to fix it (they’re very much on the ball). And I seem to be always able to find a working IP with PureVPN.

Sorry, I unfortunately do not. I imagine it would be pretty tough keeping such a list up to date since anytime a VPN provider changes or adds IPs, that may affect whether or not that provider is currently detected by services like IP2Proxy.
